Hmmm okay... there's nothing special about runestone metadata compared to any other metadata blocks apart from 0 not being a valid value. Does crafttweaker have a way to specify a range of metadata values?

[jaredlll08]

That is done by :* which they are doing already, it is the vanilla wildcard metadata, and works fine on things like wool and planks (and I would assume more, I had the user test wool specifically and it worked).

[SettingDust]

No way apart from for 1 to X. And it's what I'm using

val runeStone = <ebwizardry:runestone>.definition;

for meta in 1 to 8 {
    <ore:blockRuneStone>.add(runeStone.makeStack(meta));
}

val runeStonePedestal = <ebwizardry:runestone_pedestal>.definition;

for meta in 1 to 8 {
    <ore:blockRuneStonePedestal>.add(runeStonePedestal.makeStack(meta));
}

And that works? If so, then it must be because of meta 0 being missing.

Yes. It's ok.

[Electroblob77]

Great, in that case I assume allowing meta 0 as a variant (even if it's unobtainable) will fix this.

It's generally safest to assume that players will find a way to get invalid items, particularly when other mods are involved.
